Wrestle Review: WrestleMania 34

RAW Tag Team Division; Circa 2016-2018

Rest in Peace Raw Tag Team Division

For the WWE Raw Tag Team Championships: The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro) (c) vs. Braun Strowman and Nicholas

Braun Strowman has managed to beautifully balance his comedic side with his tough one, unlike most WWE monsters after a heroic face turn. Yet this match might just have stretched his credibility a bit too far.

So it was really entertaining to see Braun pick up a boy and add him to the match as his tag team partner. It's a fun skit worthy of the sports entertainment element of Wrestlemania. The perfect gentle giant meets buddy cop movie piece, unfortunately, this all came at the expense of two stellar athletes.

Even Kenny Omega bounced back from wrestling dolls and young girls, but he did it in a bizarre world not fitting the intensity of New Japan. Matching these two tones and taking a monster that while nuanced could have been top dog, hurts somewhat. What hurts even more, is the burial of a whole division for just one man and his little friend.
